Sophie Marceau (55 years old) cheers about her hack
I still love Labom
Once a teenage idol, then a Bond opponent: Sophie Marceau reveals at the Locarno Film Festival how she chooses her roles.
One of the highlights of this year’s Locarno Film Festival is “Une femme de notre temps” – starring Sophie Marceau (55). An unusual role of the French actress is remembered by almost everyone from the teenage film “La Baume” (1980). In the new film, Marceau plays Julien, a police inspector in Paris with great moral integrity. But when she discovers her husband’s double life, she begins to commit actions she never thought she could do.
How do you like Locarno?
Sophie Marceau: What can I say, it’s awesome. It’s my first time here in the area and unfortunately I can only stay for 2 days. I hope to spend more time in Locarno.
She became a star at the age of 13 thanks to La Baume. Doesn’t it ever bother you when people ask you about today’s movie?
No, not at all, this movie was the start of my career. I still love La Baume. Even if you prefer other themes today.
What has changed since La Baume?
Lots and nothing yet. Everything should go faster, all the news instantly on social media. Today a movie is being shot in six weeks, in the last twelve it is planned. But I kind of like it, it’s my nature.
What criteria do you use to decide on a role?
If I have to think about it for a long time, it’s usually not the right thing. It’s like walking into a store and thinking carefully about buying something. In this case, it is best to leave it alone.
Your new movie “Une femme de notre temps” is nothing but light fare. How many of you play Julian?
I love the woman I play. She defends her rights. She is direct, honest, extreme and does not deceive anyone. There is a lot of my personality there. But this does not mean that I approve of killing the husband as a cheated wife, as in the movie.
What is your advice to young actors?
I often heard: “You are beautiful, you are talented.” Yes, that may be true, as well as millions of others. To become a successful actress, you have to work, watch movies, and study a lot. this is the most important.
